Cherry Wood

[Tony C.]

the single filet pack weighs more. and some of the chunks i got are way too big for the WSM. unless that is the only chunk you put on for a butt or brisket smoke.

So Tony you're saying it was a fortuitous error on my part huh, lol. I've always said "sometimes it's better to be lucky than good."

 

[Tony C.]

depends on how you look at it. you get a little more wood for the little bit more you pay and i can probably use all but about 8-12 chunks as is. as much wood as i use on the WSM and kettles, i may be inclined to get the single filet again next time just because it is more wood.. i have a band saw, circular saw and a recipricating saw, i should be able to get those 8-12 chunks in half with no problem.

edit..
and as i stated earlier, the 1st time i ordered last year they didn't have 2 sizes. the order i placed before christmas i never bothered to scroll down i just ordered the serious smoker chunks and i did notice it was 5 bucks more than last time. i just thought the price went up

Jerry, Cherry is very easy to identify by it's bark.

And even easier by the fruit.

(Bark is grey, smooth on trees under 8" or so. Wood, the center is reddish/orange, The outside year or two worth of growth is yellower, making a distinct two tone look on a cut end.)

But what about the other 11 months of the year.

I have only used wild cherry but a friend says that a domestic cherry (fruit bearing) is sweeter. When I get my hands on some I will try it, but the wild cherry works til then.

Around here wild cherry is fairly easy to spot. The bark is dark, pretty much black or dark charcoal gray. I have seen them several shades lighter and usually where the sun can hit the bark. Pretty much the trees in the woods are black. The best picture I have seen for the bark is here.

Most of your fruit bearing trees have a smooth bark.

I use the smokilicous cherry and one of the neighbors kids said it smelled like cotton candy...They have a great product and are very nice people as well.
